I'm assuming your talking about underdrive pulleys... In simple terms yes they are worth it... It's just like a transmission when in first gear, you have really small gear turning bigger gears, providing more power and torque...
I think most just go with the crank pulley due to other drive components turning too slow while idling...
Sam over at socaldakota I think can hook you up with a good deal on these for your truck, if they make them for your truck... Oughta look into him and see what he says...

The flip side of this is if you want to run around spending $75-$100 everytime you find something to give your V6 5 more horsepower here and another 7 horsepower there, you're going to go slowly broke. If you want real power out of that 6, then supercharge it, open up the intake and the exhaust. A couple ponies make no real difference, it's still a heavy truck. From one 6 owner to another who has done alot of spending.

I have them on my '00 and to be honest, I didn't feel any difference whatsover. Was it worth the 70 bucks? Probably not, but atleast I know its there. You can check it out here: My ASP Crank setup

You're absolutely right when you said spending those amounts will help you go slowly broke BUT not all of us can afford a $3000+ Supercharger. Plus, its a lot funner finding other ways to wake it up, right?!

It's been a big pain in the butt. I actually considered the crank
pulley, saw the price, said enough is enough. I've bought so
much already and haven't really gotten anywhere. All that cash
and effort and maybe I get what? A couple horses?
If you want speed and power, don't dick around is all I'm saying.
I've gone the goofy route myself and regret a few things. Just
hate to see someone else blow a wad of cash and only be able to
say, gee I have another 12 horsepower, whoop de doo. The
supercharger is the single biggest power producing item out
there (average 40% increase in hp). And even with that I'm only
seeing 1/4 mile times of 16.1 for a 6er. Get an 8 or a muscle
car, that will let you really enjoy every thing you add to it. Don't
get me wrong I love working on cars/trucks, it's fun. I spend
whole weekends doing it. Getting go fast parts is also fun (only
if you get real results out of them though).
